We do our best to honor sibling requests, please make sure to indicate your football player’s name on your cheerleader’s registration form. However, please note, for some siblings there is a larger age gap. Some parents have indicated it has been difficult for younger children to cheer in the older leagues. Please keep this in mind when you are indicating your parent’s choice on your registration form.

Practice schedules are one-and-a-half hours long, and held two days a week. Practice locations TBD and will be scheduled Monday through Thursday, 5:30-7pm, 6-7:30pm and 6:30-8pm. Your coach will email you your child’s team schedule after teams have been selected. Games will be held on Saturdays for approximately two hours.
